Wheeler v. Pannell , 96 Miss. 382 ( 1909 )

Whitfield, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

■ The testimony in this case malees it clear, as we think, that a very large part of the amount for which the jury returned a verdict was furnished by Paimell for the completion of the crop of 1907, and was not furnished on the faith of the contract for the year 1908, and this necessitates a reversal. We •cannot assent to the contention that, under our laws on this subject, there must be a conviction for the crime as a condition precedent to the right to sue for the damages; but, for the error indicated, the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.

Reversed.
